Burnout: Paradise - The Ultimate Box

What we have here is the full burnout paradise plus cagney and bike downloads.
What you get in the first instance is a truly remarkable twist on the burnout games with a free roaming city and country side to do challenges as and when you feel like it.
The visuals and retina scorching, (especially in hd), the sound effects bone crunching and as for the arena you have to cruise around this puts gta4 in the shade it is truly huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

Now.......
Cagney was initially downloadable content that gave you more challenges, more map to race around but most importantly more cars.........
There was also scrolling news along the bottom of the menu screens plus an actual weather bar?!?!?!?!?!?
Then there was the time of day changes racing about took on a whole new edge in the middle of the night, and the blur of street lamps and car headlights was a real buzz, again fantastic and the fact this was downloadable for free it was for me the best that 360dlc had ever offered.

Then.........
The bike download........
Obviously you know what you got here, bikes, lots of bikes with the most incredible control that you can drive at breakneck speeds and with a camera angle not even michael bay could acheive should you choose to activate it.

How anyone can think of this as a racing game is beyond me.
If you want high speed racing that gets your adrenaline pumping buy Burnout:Revenge!
Unless you have no life and can spend weeks memorizing every street on the map this game is a waste of money.
This version is described as 'Unltimate Box' but you will still have to fork out £40+ to get al the additional download content (DLC) from Xbox Live. The DLC isnt for extra maps or map extention (one is planned) but for cars! Never has a game maker tried to rinse as much money as possible out of players for a substandard game, one of the game updates was 750meg proving an unfinished game was released, lets hope this isnt a new trend thats here to stay.

Gotta be the best supported game on the 360 with free bikes / cars / updates / island coming all the time.

Online is awesome as its 8 player free roam with over 450 online Freeburn Challenges to master while ur online so plenty to do.

The free update also added bikes & phyics update and are inc on the disc allready instead of having to download the 1.6gig free add-ons, also good if ur short of hard drive space to get the other version. ( 4 player pas the pad mode is also on this version which costs 800pts for the normal version.

New cars to download inc, Back to the Future Car / Ghostbusters / Dukes of hazard / Nightrider so the games got so much life its great.

Top Top game, thats endless fun.

Like most Burnout games this is adrenealine fuelled fun. However with this edition of Burnout you can roam around the streets exploring the city. The Ultimate Box also has the added bonus of Motorbikes which although sounds great there is a limited amount of challenges compared to the number of challenges that are included with the cars. The developers have stuck with the original recipe for super fast carnage fun that original Burnout games had but with the edition of free roaming which is a really great feature that I enjoyed and hope that they include it in future Burnout games. 8/10.

First of all the game is really fun to play, whether online or offline there is always something to do that will keep you entertained.

The second I inserted the disc the title screen appeared shortly followed by a download prompt, a download that was over 900mb in size and if you want to play online this download is mandatory.

Now onto the "Ultimate Box", when I purchase something with such a name I would assume it would contain EVERYTHING possible... but this is far from the truth. It came with about 3 additional features, but the extra cars (Legendary, toys etc.) have to be purchased before they can be used. Maybe a better name would be "The slightly more features than the standard edition Box".

Anyway despite the misleading title I would still recommend this game, its got countless hours of campaign driving mayhem and unlimited hours of online fun... also if you purchase the legendary car pack you can take the Back to the Future Delorean AND Ghostbusters Ecto 1 for a spin, now that's epic!
